Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 352 Are all fairy tales lies?
It turns out that not all trees have the great dream of becoming a dryad, at least not the ivy tree chosen by Shemy. It has been rooted in this valley for a hundred years, accustomed to a leisurely and peaceful life, and will continue to live like this, but it has no energy to play with these young people who like to mess around.

Xie Mi was chased and beaten by the angry old tree elf for a long time. In the end, the elf's magic expired and it was finally changed back to its original appearance.

Rooted in the thick soil, the majestic and luxuriant old tree gently sways its crown, casting cool shade. It is hard to tell that it was chasing a little goblin hammer with great energy just now.

Perhaps only the exhausted party and two innocent bystanders will remember what happened today.

"Hoo, hoo! I'm so tired! What the hell is that guy doing?" Shemi flapped his transparent butterfly wings weakly, and slumped down on Metien's palm, complaining: "I've already apologized, why is he still chasing me and hitting me? Even my second sister has never hit me like this! It's too much!"

Metien patted her head and said a few words of comfort, while Alice, as a passerby, said something sarcastic: "To be honest, if I was suddenly woken up from my good sleep and my house was demolished, I would be as angry as it is. No, maybe even angrier than it. And isn't the main problem yours? If you were skilled enough in fairy magic, this wouldn't have happened, right?"

Not to mention turning a tree into a tree spirit, it actually has a duration, and it will expire when the time limit is up. In this way, even if Shaymi successfully turns this ivy tree into a tree house, it might suddenly turn back to its original state halfway through living in it. As for what will happen to the people living in it... Alice was not very happy to imagine this kind of bizarre scene, and she sighed twice, which was meaningful.

"Well!"

The little goblin puffed up his cheeks, looking unconvinced.

But I really can't find any reason to refute it.

But it was two to one, and her opposition alone was useless. In the end, Metien and Shemi worked together to pull her to pick the fruits. To be specific, Shemi flew up to pick the fruits, while she and Metien caught them on the ground. It was not difficult at all, just very boring.

During the three days she stayed on the Whale Island, she had not eaten anything except fruits. Although the fruits grown here tasted good, sweet, juicy and nutritious due to the pleasant climate and sufficient sunlight, eating fruits all the time was not a good idea. As a carnivorous creature, Alice felt that her patience had reached its limit.

Alice was a little hesitant, or more accurately, reluctant: "Why are you eating fruit again? I'm tired of it. Can you change the taste?"

Finally, it was Metien who stepped out to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, both of you stop arguing. Shemy is wrong. He shouldn't use his unskilled fairy magic to do such dangerous things. Sister Alice, you too, can't you say less sarcastic words and give Shemy more encouragement?"

Moreover, after learning that she had actually made a fire and barbecued in her own flower field, Iyetta's expression became very complicated: sad, scared, and angry but dared not say anything. She bit her lower lip tightly and was about to cry, which led to Alice, the instigator, being criticized by everyone including Saint Shallia for a whole day and night. She had nightmares when she slept and never dared to do it again.

For her sake, the golden-haired maid and the fairy maid, who were at loggerheads with each other, shook hands and declared a cessation of hostilities, although they still disliked each other (perhaps it was the mutual exclusion of the same profession). At the same time, they made up their minds in their hearts to find a time when Medien was studying to have another fight.

Both sides were given fifty lashes and it was as if nothing had happened. The pink-haired little girl was becoming more and more like her brother.

"Shami, Sister Alice, since we're already here, why don't we pick some fruits to take back? We'll have them to eat in the evening anyway," she suggested.

"Sure." Xie Mi unconditionally supports any decision made by his friend and immediately agrees.

In fact, there were many small animals like rabbits, goats and squirrels living in the valley. She had thought about catching a few to taste them, and she actually put it into practice, but what she grilled was more like charcoal than meat, and the few pieces of meat that were fortunately intact were inedible without seasoning.

How could the pink-haired little girl not know that these two people were actually at odds with each other? In order to improve the relationship between the two sides, she rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.

It's all tears.

Just think of it as playing a farm management simulation game.

Alice comforted herself like this.

And then. Bang!
"what is this?"

"Muzi fruit."

Snapped!
"What is this?"

"Pomelo fruit."

Snapped!
"This is……"

"That's enough!" Xie Mi, who was flying in the sky, could no longer control his anger and threw the fruit in his hand directly at Alice's face: "Don't you eat it every day? Why do you have to ask me the same question every day!?"

"Because I'm tired of eating it, can't I have something new?" Alice rubbed her red nose and felt very wronged: "I'm a human, not a Pokémon... Bah, I'm not a fairy, how can I eat fruit every day!?"

"Don't eat if you're tired of it!" As a fairy, Xie Mi, who prefers to eat vegetables rather than meat, put her hands on her hips and felt no pressure. It was finally her turn to criticize Alice: "Don't complain, look for the reasons in yourself! Everyone eats the same thing, why are you the only one who keeps complaining? Look, Metien didn't say anything!"

"Uh, ha, hahaha." Metien laughed twice, trying to find joy in her heart. She wanted to say that she was actually tired of eating these fruits, but she was embarrassed to slap her friend in the face. Moreover, she was sensible and knew that there was nothing she could do about it. The conditions on the Sky Island were limited, and complaining would not solve anything.

Alice doesn't think so.

"Aren't you a maid?" She pinched an unknown fruit and stared at Xie Mi: "Didn't you learn any cooking skills from the boss lady?"

"No!" Xie Mi replied confidently, and even turned the tables: "Aren't you also a maid? Can you do it?"

"Ah this!"

Alice was speechless. She couldn't admit that she was not a maid, could she?

Although she certainly hadn't done many things a maid was supposed to do, now that she had put on this dress, she had to have the professional ethics and sense of honor of a maid!
This gave Shemy a reason to fight back.

We are all maids. Why should I know what you don't know? Are there any distinctions between high and low maids?

In a word.

"If you don't like it, don't eat it!" Her attitude was very bad, and she didn't have the service spirit of the customer being God at all: "Go find something to eat yourself!"

"Damn it!"

For the first time, Alice was cornered by this little goblin and was speechless. She clenched her fists in anger and said, "I can't stay on this empty island for even one more day!"

I originally thought that this floating island would be a great base, carrying myself and my companions to any corner of the world for adventure and satisfying all my expectations for a fantasy story journey. But it turned out that it couldn't even meet the most basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and transportation!
I can only say that in many cases, there is indeed a certain gap between reality and ideals, and fairy tales are all lies...

Medien, who was standing next to them, listened to their conversation silently, and gradually a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
